wait? as long as it takes. even if he doesn t come around to committing to a fair trial, keep those articles here. keep it as long as it takes. if you know and he s told you what he s going to do, let s give him a fair trial and hang him. it s the reverse of that. so congressman, you re talking about mcconnell saying, and i m just going to reiterate what you said. he s told you what he s going to do. it s almost like give him a fair trial and hang him, it s the reverse of that. yeah. you ve heard since that the trump campaign and others have used the words hang him as the dems want to hang trump. this is your first opportunity after that interview to offer clarity for those who want to interpret what you said in one way, clarity on your word choice, your intention. well, i don t know, you have
in that little lake in hanoi. he didn t surrender, put his arms up in the air. he crashed into the enemy capital and got beat up in the water, barely got out of the water alive. and then he went to prison for seven years while he was beat up for another seven years. and this guy questions his service? this is pure i don t know what it is. your thoughts. yeah, i think bannon s speech and the reaction to it from the crowd there in california in some ways encapsulates these two prongs of the trump zeitgeist, if you will, this ferocious anti-establishment sentiment, as well as this sort of rejection of what they see as political correctness that they can be as brash and as sort of unpolitically correct as they want. and certainly there is no less politically correct thing to do in american politics than to scream out hang him about not just any war hero, but john mccain, who went on of course to have a very decorated career in the u.s. senate. carla, i don t see mccain as

strategist or outlier steve bannon took on mccain, as well as the second president bush in his speech to california republicans. here is how the audience reacted when bannon mentioned mccain s name at this event. within 24 hours of each other, there were three speeches. president xi in china, our beloved president george bush [ booing ] that s a piece of work. and john mccain. [ booing ] you heard it. hang him. as politico reported that report, when bannon mentioned that name, someone in the audience yelled hang him. ken vogel is with the new york times. carla, it s good to see you again. i haven t seen you since chronicle days. thank you for coming on. could you hear that guy yell hang him ? oh, yeah. this was one of the most shocking things i ve seen. i ve covered these conventions for almost 20 years. and to listen to bannon mention
